Hitman: Absolution - First gameplay trailer

I won't lie to you - I never got into the Hitman series.  The gameplay never appealed to me. But Hitman: Absolution seems to give you the choice of either going guns blazing or silently assassinate targets, and I love  going guns blazing.  Check out the trailer below.

This trailer is actually making me consider giving the old Hitman games another try. But It'll probably take just a few hours until I give up and lose my patience at going all sneaky. Really not my strong suit.

Hitman: Absolution is planned sometime the 4th quarter of 2012 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Skyrim's first DLC named 'Dawnguard' more details at E3

Skyrim's first piece of DLC is named 'Dawnguard' and will arrive in summer for the US, which means around June to September. Only information right now is that the DLC will first hit on Xbox 360 and more info will be announced on E3, which is a month away. 

Bethesda Blog teased the DLC with the image above and pretty much says nothing else in the post. I have Skyrim on the 360 so I'm definitely going to pick this up when it gets released. Yes even without info, more content for Skyrim is a definite win in my eyes. Don't you agree?

Don't worry about Xbox 360 getting first dibs on the DLC, its only a month head start. And if you ask me, one month of first access to DLC is nothing compared to what PC players get to enjoy - MODS. Playstation 3 get no love apparently.

2012's Call of Duty is Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

Activision finally reveals the 2012 Call of Duty title, Black Ops 2. I won't lie - I'm actually excited for this one. I liked Call of Duty Black Ops a lot. Great campaign. zombie killing mode, and of course that multiplayer. First trailer for Black Ops 2 was released together with the reveal and shows the usual explosions but set in 2025. Yes the future. You got robots, futuristic gear, and horses?

Activision has gone live with the official site, so go ahead and take a peek.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is coming out on November 13, 2012 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengance Teaser Live Action trailer makes no sense

Konami Released a teaser live action video for Metal Gear Solid Rising: Revengeance. Cool, if only it makes any sense at all. The video shows a man being experimented on, which could possibly be Raiden, the protagonist of this game. No idea what this is but I'm guessing this could be the origins of Raiden. Check out the video, see if you can make any sense of it all.

It is said that there will be two more videos just like this that will most likely give a bigger picture of this teased video.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengance is not being directly developed by Hideo Kojima. It is now being developed by Platinum Games, creators of games such as Vanquish and Bayonetta, which is a perfect fit if you ask me. The Metal Gear Solid creator is still involved in this project but I'm sure his main priority at this moment is Metal Gear Solid 5.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is aiming for a late 2012 release date and will be out on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale a reality

Sony revealed the Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale. A four-way battle royal with all your favorite Playstation characters. Just think Super Smash Bros. but with playable characters like Kratos, Sweet Tooth, Fat Princess, even Parappa the Rapper.

At this point the game looks like a lot of fun. When I first saw gameplay footage of this four player brawl I was expecting people to actually fly off the screen, but with stages having walls on the side, it never happened. It's really just Smash Bros. but for Sony. No other way to describe it.

There is only a handful of playable characters revealed so I'm pretty curious to who will make it to the full roster. My bet will have to be on Crash Bandicoot. If he doesn't make it, shame on you Sony, shame on you.

How about you guys? What Playstation character to do you want to see in this game?
